Parents Comments about the Class
Nadia - The class teaches you to parent in a very positive way and encourages you to find your own personal
style of parenting. Really teaches you to think through strategies for parenting which I found very useful. The course also helped me to really see
how I have been moulded by my parent's parenting style, which was a real eye opener.
Belinda - The class is very worthwhile, useful and will definitely improve your parenting skill. BRING A FRIEND!
Maura- I especially liked the goal-setting at the first class. I have learned specific useful strategies. I found the Discipline and Sibling Rivalry classes the most compelling and interesting and enriching.
Peter - It opens your eyes on parenting "Do's and Dont's"
Aileen - I learned a lot!
Bobby - It's been about soooo many things we didn't know
Audrey - Cornelia is very knowledgeable and gives a wide variety of information. We all need a parenting course to help us in the path of parenting. This gives us a good solid foundation for our children as well!
